Everyone is excited about Salman Khan's upcoming movie Bajrangi Bhaijaan. The movie is going to release on coming friday all over India including Pakistan. The movie own Indo-Pak theme which expected to work well on box office. However, Pakistan is in news not because of Bajrangi Bhaijaan release but for Lollywood's actress Mahira Khan's movie 'Bin Roye'. Recently, the release of movie fell in a controversial row when Maharashtra Navnirman Sena film wing opposed the screening of movie in Maharashtra.

Since it is Pakistani movie and Pakistan always attacked
India, the group come up and stood against the release. Possibly,
Pakistan expected that the way they welcomed Salman's movie in their
country India will do the same. But unfortunately MNS objections and
threatening demonstration made Board to refrain its' release in
Maharashtra. Pakistan's easy-go attitude on 26/11 mastermind Lakhvi
somewhere encouraged terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir and this is
why party feel no hesitation in keeping even entertainment under
cross-border politics.

Earlier, Pakistani director Shoaib Mansoor's movie Khuda Ke Liye
released in India. After this, India welcomed Pakistan serials on small
screen ( Zindagi channel) which liked by everyone. Perhaps, when it
comes to movies and serials people think about entertainment only rather
digging politics out of it. Merinews reached to few actors and
journalist who feels that bringing border-issues in this case is totally
baseless.

Raza Murad, Actor

When Pakistani movie Khuda Ke Liye released in India, nobody had
objected it. Recently, PM Narendra Modi met Nawaz Sharif. And Modi will
also pay visit in Pakistan next year, so we should take things
positively. If our neighbour country wants to be friends with us then we
should appreciate it. Even like all the serials which telecast on
Zindagi channel. Pakistan have no objection in releasing Bollywood movie
in their country then why we are creating problems? We should take
things as they are rather bringing border issues in between. This is
wrong and I dont appreciate it at all. Movie is a part of entertainment.
And playing politics in pretext of entertainment is wrong. There is no
harm in exchange of cultures.

Aman Rawat, Actor

Movie is all about entertainment and if any other country's film
industry like Lollywood is interested in releasing movies in Indian then
we should welcome the move. If Pakistani singers are previliged enough
to contribute their work in bollywood then why to abstain things when it
comes to Lollywood movies? Bringing border issues in entertainment
field is wrong. Entertainment field has nothing to do with terrorism and
other severe issues which both the countries are dealing with.

Sahil Patel, Actor (worked in Bajrangi Bhaijaan)

I also worked in Bajrangi Bhaijaan. This is wrong. Bin Roye should
released all over India including Maharashtra. If we support the concept
of brotherhood then why not to implement it properly? Entertainment
should be away from political games.

Shrabani Mukherjee, Journalist

Its' not fair at all. Entertainment should not be bogged down by
politics. But I have a problem with Zindagi's serials, although I used
to love them but they kind of always showed women as people who are
confined to the kitchen. I guess empowerment is yet to happen there but
from an entertainment point of view we should be exposed to every kind
of cinema.
